So, I kind of didn’t finish my CreativeLIVE story.

Day 3 was another great day with my new friends. I honestly feel like we were all put together for a reason.  I think we all added something to the Tamara Lackey CreativeLIVE experience.
I know some of you might know this already but, Tamara Lackey is a natural on camera, and such a truly genuine person off as well. She is the real deal. She spoke on life, family, balance at the end of day 3…I was so looking forward to this part!  The funny thing is, she didn’t have much time to talk on it, I was worried…but then she ditched the slideshow and spoke from the heart.  I know it was the little pep talk I needed.  So many times I over think things, and it really was simple advise.  Why does it sometimes take a really successful person to tell you that and you listen?   OK Challenge Accepted!

I got to spend some time and get to know Joy Bianchi~Brown. Come to find out she knew my Dad from her Pepperdine University days. I instantly felt a connection because of that…and then she was so sweet and fun to be around, it felt like a big hug from my Dad. I don’t believe in coincidences.
I was gone for 4 nights in Seattle and it FLEW by. I wondered how I was going to make not seeing my kiddies for that long, but we were so busy it really went fast. My favorite part if you haven’t guessed it, is becoming great friends with fantastic people! You can never have too many of those! I also enjoyed watching Tamara in action. She knows how to work!

Looking forward to many more CreativeLIVE experiences, even if it is just watching and chatting online with them.

p.s. totally want to give blog love to everyone as soon as I figure that out.

What a crazy day it was yesterday. Day 2 was exhausting and amazing at the same exact time. Amazing because I really felt like I made some fantastic relationships. The people here are so much fun and sweet. I could not ask for a more uplifting experience. Its usually never a good idea to shoot live on the internet with a camera you have never touched and expect for the pictures to come out amazing. If you ever get the chance, I would say to take a second and find out how to change the settings before you just start shooting away. I wanted to be a team player…and get the money shot…yep, I said money shot. Is that a bad thing to say on the internet? So I hear I said a few interesting things while shooting that cute little boy.

Today is the last day, and although I am excited to see my kids and husband, I am sad for this to be over. The behind the scenes is so much fun. Did I already say I love the people here? Well, I’m saying it again. Love love love!

And well Tamara is fabulous!

I will blog tonight about todays experience. Going to be a great day today of business! OH YA!

Thanks for all the sweet twitter love and messages.

I am in Seattle, WA with creativeLIVE! I was one of the lucky 6 chosen to come and hang out with the crew and Tamara Lackey.  Tamara is such a fantastic speaker with so much amazing information for photographers. Today was day one and a great day! Two more days left and loving it.
Here is Tamara Lackey with Joy Bianchi Brown.  www.creativelive.com

I am so excited to finally blog on my site!  I’m starting it off with a photo shoot I did of Sabra.  You might recognize her, she was the winner of So You Think You Can Dance a few years ago.  She is such a funny, genuine person!
